Gastro-Fry — Restaurant in High Peak

First and last time visiting this place. The disinterested server assumed we wanted something other than the 3 kids meals ordered (the old adage to assume comes to mind). As soon as we arrived home to find the meals missing, we immediately called in the hope the Sunday driver could deliver the missing meals, apparently they are no more and the only offer was for us to come back and order more food, which takes away the whole point of convenience food. Our fish and chip shop locally relays the order to the customer, to avoid such mistakes, maybe the disinterested member of staff could be taught this, although I doubt she could be bothered.

Having lived in Buxton for 9 months you have to try everything available to eat quickly and in my opinion this is by far the best chippy in town! You can tell it's good by those selection of potatoes, hand cut with good oil and care put in.

My only gripe is that I have a family member with a fish allergy and I've been told by staff that chips and everything else are cooked in same oil! (No second fryer) But for myself 4.6 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁 Cheers...
